EVERY CHILD DESERVES SAFETY
At Salam Charity, we believe every child deserves to be safe and secure. That’s why we offer a sponsorship programme. In countries including Bangladesh, Lebanon and Jordan, you can sponsor children whose families or guardians are unable to pay for medical, food or education costs.
In 2024, our supporters sponsored 213 orphans, 27 families and 110 widowed mothers. The sponsorships provided security, paying for essential costs like food, bills and healthcare. They enable children and families to attend school or jobs, or to look after their dependants.
Our generous sponsors are changing lives every month, leaving a lasting legacy that can lift a whole family from poverty. You can contribute to our sponsorship fund or sponsor a child or family yourself – it starts at £55 per month.
Our aims
Children deserve care, security and education. Every child in our sponsorship programme receives:
- Access to consistent, quality education
- Adequate nutrition and timely healthcare
- A safe, supportive, and loving environment
- Protection from exploitation so they can pursue a better future
The Global need
- 1 in 5 children live without one or both parents due to conflict, poverty, or disease
- 153 million orphans lack access to education, healthcare, or food
- 160 million children are employed in child labour. Orphans are 5 times more likely to be put into child labour.
- 45 million children are seriously malnourished, which impairs their physical and cognitive growth.
